Im trying out an front page alternative with only a background image slider (with the plugin WP-Supersized). I found the following code in another thread for changing the header to transparent:

#header .container_wrap.main_color {

background: transparent;

}

I’ve created a new page template with no elements, but I have some problems: Even with no elements, the “page” content is still shown (2px in height), and the header gets a scrollbar and is scrollable a little bit. And the dropdown-menu is only shown in the header (gets cut off).
